If someone does a nice job for me I will bless them, but if you want more $ charge more.

That's not how it works. Tipping isn't mandatory, so if you don't want to tip while eating out, that's your right. Also, I've said this in every tip topic, no one makes less than minimum wage. The employers must compensate their employees if their earnings don't come out to minimum wage.


^ This is true, it'd be illegal for the employer not to do so.

62. Mail Carriers – Government employees are prohibited from receiving money as a gift or gratuity, but the Postal Service tends to turn a blind eye during the holidays.

63. Sherpas – Tip one Yak for making it up the mountain and an additional Yak every time the sherpa has to save you from falling off the mountain.


Im a flower delivery driver full time 40 hours a week and I baaarely ever get tipped. And I drive pretty far alot of the time. 20+ miles sometimes. Doesnt seem to far but it is when you have other deliveries to worry about. Ive been working there for about a year and half, 6 days a week and only been tipped about 5 times. 
But..........I do deliver to a TON of hot UT girls and sororities and what-not. This fine tatted up chick answered the door in just a towel not to long ago with wet hair. looking

This old lady gave me a damn good chocolate chip cookie one time.

Now there are a couple spots that I used to go to for chinese and BBQ back in college that I'd throw in a tip every now and then just because I liked the food so much and the people that ran the places knew me as a regular customer, but I'm not tipping any random take out place for no reason.

they put it in a styrofoam container for you and put that container in a "Thank You" bag. If you aren't tipping at least 15% for that service, you can't afford pickup. Cook your own food at home!
